Queen's funeral: Elizabeth II buried alongside late husband at St George's Chapel

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II made her final journey, a 25-mile stretch westward, from Westminster Abbey in central London to Windsor Castle in the county of Berkshire where she spent much of her time in recent years. She was laid to rest at the royal chapel next to her husband Prince Philip, who died in 2021. Only members of the British Royal Family, led by her successor King Charles III, attended the private ceremony.
